[Revenue Update] October 2021 - 0.3% of $1,000,000 Goal
$297.43 (Sep) → $323.01 (Oct) = +8.6%
Basically neutral in revenue compared to last month. Writeaday numbers continue to dwindle.
DAU went from 1100 → 600 in the past 12 month (nearly halving).
What’s Next
Bento sales are pretty low and while I enjoy the utility on a personal level, there’s not much tweaking or improving that I want to currently invest. Possible improvements to branding (repositioned to be more utility-based like “Clipboard Manager” rather than an abstract name like “Bento”).
Writeaday has an app upgrade that’s almost ready to push out. Just requires some additional thinking around upgrading older users. Billing needs some slight tweaks as well.
5 Minute Journal is really promising. I have it out as a free version currently. The plan is to iterate on it through user feedback then around 1000 daily active users, start gating photo uploads and create premium themes as a way to monetize. I will never gate core functionality.
